Madeira is a rich fortified wine made on the Portuguese Madeira Islands, where the wine is aged and oxidized through heat. Kavalan’s tropical new make extracts the many rich fruit notes from the wine cask to create an irresistibly sweet yet delicate whisky.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Stewed summer berries, freshly made waffles, sticky date pudding, strawberry ice cream and toasted almonds.
Palate: The fruitiness is intense, tropical fruits combine with summer berries, dark chocolate and orange citrus, creamy toffee and hints of baking spices.
Finish: Long and warming, creamy toffee, raisins and dates, plums and figs with some tobacco leaf and peppery spice.
